If the Bucks win Monday, the Pistons will be swept from the playoffs in their past three appearances.

The Pistons appeared to be energized by the return of Griffin, but they had no chance with the poor performance from center Andre Drummond. The seven-year pro who helped propel the Pistons into the playoffs was dominated by Bucks center Brook Lopez, who finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots, as the Bucks are a perfect 7-0 against the Pistons this season.

Drummond, plagued by foul trouble, suffered through a nightmarish 5-for-14 shooting night in 30 minutes. He was the recipient of boos throughout the evening from the sell-out crowd.

“We made some uncharacteristic mistakes,” Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. “That’s what the playoffs are about – getting through that, understanding time-score-situation. We had situations where we’d make a mistake or miss a shot, now we go down to the defensive end and not carry out our assignments.”
